ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
SUNDAY, JANUARY 24TH, 2016
55 DAYS UNTIL SPRING
Sunrise: 7:48 am
Sunset: 5:34 pm
Life is a Special Occasion!
Hallmark
January 24th is Compliment Day. Today is a great opportunity to say something positive about the people you come into contact with. Everyone has good attributes. That’s right! Everyone.
Remember: Mama said, If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. After a long search for something good, if you just can't find a compliment for them, then silence is golden.
Compliment Day is celebrated by offering sincere compliments to people you know. It is important that you are sincere. People will see right through insincerity, and you will do more harm than good.
Make someone SMILE today and give them a compliment!
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.
Leo Buscaglia
When you give a compliment, you’re more than likely going to get one in return. Getting a compliment tends to make us smile and smiling often leads to laughing, and laughing burns calories. That’s always a good thing. Ha! Best of all compliments are free, they cost nothing to give, but are worth their weight in gold.
A compliment has a powerful effect. It can instill confidence in a child, or validate someone’s hard work. A compliment not only improves the receiver’s mood, but it also says something about the giver. It says you noticed. Whether we notice someone’s achievement or their classic style, a compliment can go a long way.
They say we are to get out of the deep freeze here today and for the next couple of days we’ll be warmer too. We’re going into the last week of January and that’s a good thing too. It’s always a long cold month and I’m glad it’s on it’s way out. February does bring a lot of cold and snow too, but it’s a much shorter month and then comes March and Spring! Something I’m definitely looking forward to. So keep the good thoughts rolling today and remember your smiles make my day ! You are very special to me. Think Spring !
I hope you all have a RELAXING Sunday !

That's pretty neat about compliments being verbal sunshine!
But you're spot on about folks being about to detect insincerity - probably my biggest pet peeve.
I work with such an individual, and every time I hear her prattling attempts to exhibit interest in another it makes my teeth ache.
"Verbal sunshine", I love it!
And "silence is golden", I love that too. Hey, remember that song from the 60's? :-)
